After multivariate analysis, extra-alveolar time longer than 1 h was significantly associated with external root resorption. No significant association was observed between IL4 gene polymorphisms and root resorption. |
CONCLUSION |
No association between root resorption and IL4 gene polymorphisms was observed. An extra-alveolar time of more than 1 h was associated with a susceptibility for external root resorption. Replanting the tooth in its socket immediately is the most important factor to maintain a healthy root surface.Representations of Lin... |
Abstract With its recent entry into the European Union (EU) and the adoption of multiethnic democracy as a national policy, a key challenge for Poland is to transform its education policy and practice in ways that are consistent with multicultural and pluralist values. This paper examines Poland's efforts to address th... |
Sore throat is one of the commonest reasons for visiting general practitioners yet little is known about what factors are important in its natural course. This is important since people with prolonged illness after the consultation—the 36% with illness lasting more than five days after seeing the doctor (the median)—ar... |
The methods are reported in full elsewhere.3 General practitioners documented the clinical characteristics of 716 patients presenting with sore throat, who were then randomised to one of three prescribing strategies (antibiotics, no antibiotics, delayed antibiotics). Patients recorded satisfaction with the consultation... |
This cautionary tale of experimental science begins 10 years ago, when physicists sifting through the debris from collisions of heavy atomic nuclei saw hints that an unknown particle was briefly materializing in the collisions and then decaying. The prospect was so exciting that it sparked a whole generation of nuclear... |
The adsorption of CO on Pt nanoclusters grown in a regular array on a template provided by the graphene/Ir(111) Moiré was investigated by means of infrared-visible sum frequency generation vibronic spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy from ultrahigh vacuum to near-ambient pressu... |
Previous studies suggested a correlation between antigenic variation in Kinetoplastida and the presence of two RNA polymerase (pol) II largest subunit genes in these organisms. We have found that Trypanosoma vivax, an African trypanosome which undergoes antigenic variation, is an exception, and has only one pol II larg... |
social theorists. Salomon recuperates the heroic dimensions of Nabokov's protagonists. If we do not think some of them, especially Van Veen, to be quite as worthy of redemption as Salomon does, the fact is that our debate takes place within guidelines that Salomon himself establishes. The book, clearly the result of co... |

Environmental health has received minimal attention in nursing curricula over the past decade, despite efforts by the Institute of Medicine (1995) and others to advance the environmental health agenda in nursing education, practice, and research. This paper describes an initiative that was first funded as a part of the... |
The idea of a probability generating function seems to be a difficult one for sixth formers, and this may well be because the formalism is introduced too abruptly. The t or z or whatever letter is used in a p.g.f. has to be explained as having “no physical significance”, to quote from a recent M.A. booklet on sixth for... |
Maintaining optical alignment between stations of a free-space optical link requires an active pointing mechanism to persistently aim an optical beam toward the receiving station with an acceptable accuracy. This mechanism ensures delivery of maximum optical power to the receiving station in spite of the relative motio... |

Background |
Extensor hallucis capsularis is an accessory extensor tendon that is sporadically observed at the medial side of the extensor hallucis longus tendon. Knowledge regarding frequency of occurrence and size of the tendon may help surgeons decide whether to use this tendon or not when tendon graft is needed during foot surg... |
Conclusion: Extensor hallucis capsularis tendon was found in the vast majority of cadavers evaluated in this study. Most originated from the extensor hallucis longus tendon and inserted into the first metatarsophalangeal joint capsule. Application of this tendon as a tendon graft should be carefully considered due to v... |
Objective |
